UFC 264 Results: Poirier vs. McGregor 3
LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC 264: Poirier vs. McGregor 3 results throughout the night (Sat. 10th. July 2021) from the T-Mobile Arena In Las Vegas, Nevada.
Taking main event honours in the promotion’s return to the T-Mobile Arena, former interim UFC lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier meets with former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion, Conor McGregor in a trilogy rubber match bout between the two.
Poirier and McGregor meet in a bid to earn overall bragging rights — following a January rematch on ‘Fight Island’ in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Headlining UFC 257 at the beginning of the year, Poirier avenged a September 2014 knockout loss to McGregor — stopping the Dubliner with a second round flurry at the fence.
In the night’s co-headliner, a high-stakes welterweight bout between one-time title chaser, Gilbert Burns and the two-time title challenger, Stephen Thompson.
For Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace, Burns, he returned for the first time since a UFC 258 knockout loss to defending champion, Kamaru Usman, while Thompson enters the fight in the midst of a two-fight winning run — which most recently featured a unanimous decision win over Geoff Neal at UFC Vegas 17 in December of last year.
